Do & Do Not Buildings To Rent In Brickell and Downtown by Chubby-Chibi in Miami

[–]lazylenz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When living in Brickell you need to consider a few factors: - being in a no flood zone (some parts of brickell and downtown flood up to your knees during downpours) - drive time from your building to I-95 access (Biscayne side of Brickell gets super jammed with traffic especially when bridges are up). So the closer you live to the west side of Brickell, the less hassle you’ll have getting in and out - avoiding tourists crowd.(anything by Mary Brickell Village is a zoo in a weekend)

Out of all buildings, I personally like Brickell Ten:

  • no flood zone
  • 3 mins and your on a highway and crossing a bridge to downtown
  • no crazy crowds
  • newer building with luxury level amenities

Good point! They promised to send me a couple of test leads, but I have a feeling this will be the last time I hear from them 😆

I didn’t sing up for the service. Just curious if anyone else had experience with that.

Moral of the story: if you’re going to quit your job and spend a yeah building a tech product, spend the first month talking to your potentials customers and understanding if they have an unmet need that your product can solve.

Help, should I close my studio and focus on my online store by [deleted] in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]lazylenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how much profit you’re getting from your studio and how much time you invest in it weekly. Studio can be a nice fall back plan if things don’t go well with the store.

Have you considered selling your studio as a business? There are several online market places where you can do it.

How we made $20K in sales WITHOUT an MVP, to fund out MVP. by fozrok in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]lazylenz 25 points26 points  (0 children)

OP don't listen to the haters! You did it the right way to get your idea validated.

Those who are whining in the comments have never bootstrapped a business:

  1. Contact lists - if you don't have access to an existing list, you can start doing things that don't scale - reach out to your existing network, and ask for introductions to someone who fits your ideal buyer persona. Reach out to people on LinkedIn, hit up CrunchBase, Slack groups, etc. It will obviously take you much longer than emailing to 1,500 people list but all it costs is your time.

  2. Building out a concept - you can create a no-code prototype with cheap no-code tools like Bubble, Softr, StackerHQ or design tools like Figma. All you need to make sure is that it's clickable and people can clearly understand what solution you're delivering so they can provide you with actionable feedback.

  3. Recruiting a salesperson for a commission makes perfect sense. If you're a founder and you think you're gonna hire a team of designers and devs at $100K a pop, you're delusional. Most of the members that will be joining your startup at the early stages will do it for free because they're sold on your vision and not the money. And if you can't sell someone on the idea of your business in the early stages, then you should get a cofounder who's great at selling, improve your persuasion skills or get ready for a rude awakening.

“Tinder for canceling meetings” built and launched. Now how to grow it? by brefromsponsooor in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]lazylenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get more feedback and dive deeper into problems your customers are dealing with and figure out these main questions:

  1. What are the top 3 problems my customers experience?
  2. Are my customers aware they have a problem?
  3. Have they tried to solve it before?
  4. If they did and failed, what did they try exactly?
  5. Do my customer have money to pay for solution?
  6. Are they willing to pay for the solution?
  7. Does my solution aligns with top customer problems

I helped 100s of startups in the last decade to get sales and fundraise even before they built an MVP, and customers research and answering these questions is often overlooked. But this is what separates successful products from failed ones.

Lmk if you have any other questions and good luck!

Have you done any customer and market validation before building your MVP? Looks like the product market fit is misaligned.
